The ongoing rift between FEFSI union and Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council has affected the shooting of more than 35 films, due to the strike of the FEFSI members.
 

Earlier this morning, R.K.Selvamani, President of FEFSI, and Swaminathan, Treasurer of FEFSI, met Superstar Rajinikanth at his residence to discuss this issue. After the meet, Rajinikanth has now released an official press statement, in which he has said, "One of the very few words which I don't like is 'strike' (velai nirutham). Whatever the problem might be, we can find a solution to it, by discussing and speaking through polite and humble words. On that note, as a senior actor in the industry, I request Producers Council and FEFSI union to sit together and discuss and come to a positive conclusion very soon."
